Well, it's probably because he makes shit up on the fly all the time. A man that literally cannot tell the truth is confusing? All he's trying to do is run out the clock. Keep kicking the can down the road to avoid prison and impeachment.

  • the population is stupid and complacent enough to swallow this lie.

-that a bribe is something both laudable and acceptable from an active war opponent.

We'll send a bunch of unarmed barely armed and notoriously fragile LCS ships made of aluminum to the Straight.

You know those stupid futuristic looking catamaran ass destroyers?

They gave him a big gift, and that's how he knows he's dealing with the right people.

They might not be able to deliver on any of their agreements, but they promised him something shiny, so he's in.

They are going to fleece him for a zillion bucks.
